the temperature drops by 6 degree Celsius for each of the next three days write down the calculation to work out the total change in temperature over these three days

3 * 6 = _______ degrees

18 degrees

To calculate the total change in temperature over the next three days, you need to add up the temperature drops for each day.

Let's assume the initial temperature is T0.
On the first day, the temperature drops by 6 degrees Celsius, leaving us with T1 = T0 - 6.
On the second day, the temperature drops by another 6 degrees Celsius, so we have T2 = T1 - 6 = (T0 - 6) - 6 = T0 - 12.
On the third day, the temperature drops by 6 degrees Celsius again, resulting in T3 = T2 - 6 = (T0 - 12) - 6 = T0 - 18.

Therefore, the total change in temperature over these three days can be calculated as:
Total Change = T0 - T3
Total Change = T0 - (T0 - 18)
Total Change = T0 - T0 + 18
Total Change = 18 degrees Celsius

So, the total change in temperature over the next three days will be 18 degrees Celsius.
